If your waist is larger than 35 inches, there’s a good chance that you have too much belly fat, and recent research has found that to be a significant health risk. Using the “above 35” number doesn’t work for everyone, since people come in all different shapes and sizes, but it could be a hint that your weight is something you need to think more about. Excess weight around the midsection can contribute to your likelihood of having serious problems like heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.
